Real Techniques Duo Fibre Brushes

These duo fibre brushes are part of the real techniques brand created by the wonderful Samantha Chapman (pixiwoo on YouTube). They are also limited edition so if you want them, act fast! So the reason why you might want to grab some duo fibre brushes instead of a regular one is because duo fibre don't pick up that much product, or as much as a normal brush. It works because there aren't as many bristles at the end if the brush so it can't pick up as much product because the brush is much less dense.

They are still nicely colour coordinated like other brushes in the range and the bristles are handily white to see how much product you have on the brush.


The face and contour brush are both flat which makes them more versatile but especially with the 

contour brush, it makes it easier to create a contour and a subtle one too, unless you want to build it up.  The face brush is brilliant for people who are not powder girls, who love the dewy look but want to use powder to set their makeup. The shadow brush is perfect for blending as it doesn't take off and of the product you have put on. The contour brush is also a good blush brush in particular with heavily pigmented blushes as it stops you going too full on straight away.


I have to say these brushes don't seem to be as good as the others in the collection. They are gorgeously soft like the others but they shed like nothing else! In particular the face brush. Other real techniques brushes shed once in a blue moon but I've had at least 5 bristles fall out! However this doesn't stop me loving them. I still love love love them and would highly recommend them. I also think that in time they might actually stop shedding. 

This set will cost £20.00 upwards, I've found prices to vary! 

Love, Ashlea Xx
